1. Follow me around the forum mumbling incoherently

2. Short snipes in every topic I post

3. Never challenging what I say but attacking me personally.

How old are you again?

White House budget director Peter Orszag calls this Medicare commission "critical to our fiscal future" and "one of the most potent reforms."
.......

Worse, it makes little room for medical innovations. The commission is mandated to go after "sources of excess cost growth," meaning treatments that are too expensive or whose coverage will boost spending. If researchers find a pricey treatment for Alzheimer's in 2020, that might be banned because it would add new costs and bust the global budget. Or it might decide that "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller,"

This^ Death panel, which you all denied existed until I showed it to you was not always here. This is a new one. Much different then the insurance companies death panels. why you may ask? because this is now mandated by the government.....with government officials leading it. See the difference?

Good.

Hope & Change!

I said I was over it, meaning over the relentless babbling on about all the things that you know to be right and why we're all blind, deaf and dumb for not seeing it too. Your response?

I haven't attacked you personally. I don't even know your real name. What I am pointing out to you (which in your view I guess is attacking) is your inconsistent arguments, citing of biased opinion pieces from reliable news outlets (they're called "columns"), fringe bloggers that support your worldview, etc.

For the record, I have responded once or twice in a rather (for me) long-winded manner about what I believe and why, and they have largely gone either unread (apparently), ridiculed (frequently) or ignored (most often) by you. This is the norm rather than the exception, and I believe many others have felt the same way.

As for sniping at you in every topic in which you post, I don't visit the gaming forum much, where you are quite active, so you're wrong again, dude.

Lastly, I guess you must be right about the "mumbling incoherently" part - I mean, you should know, right?

.

Anyone else see the problem with the above statement?

Paraphrase:
"I'm not attacking you but I have to follow you around and attempt to discredit every comment you make"

Obsess much?

Who are these people?

Correct?

and we found out it does through my diligent research. Your Welcome.

Uh, when I pointed out that I couldn't read a paper that was referenced in an article that you posted without joining some mailing list you directed me back to the article, not the actual paper that it was referencing. If you don't understand why a peer reviewed journal or scholarly article is more credible than a blog then I don't really think that you can prove anything to anyone who is semi intelligent.

I have a serious question, are you for all of these things, the death panels, corporations running the government, etc? I'm wondering because while you post almost nothing but all of these decidedly negative viewpoints, one of your suggestions to me via pm was to get a job. You've also mentioned how you have a corporate job so I am just wondering if you support these corporations and their manipulations? I get a decidedly negative feeling from your posts but the fact that you claim to not follow the masses while suggesting people support the corporations, which I think are ruining the world, causes some confusion.
